NetQin Releases New Version 4.6 Beta of Anti-virus Application with New Cloud Security Technology and Real-time Monitoring

BEIJING, Jan. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- NetQin, a global leader in mobile security services, today announced that its Anti-virus v4.2 Beta security app, NetQin Mobile Anti-virus for Android 1.5/1.6/2.0/2.1/2.2, has been updated to provide a more comprehensive range of security solutions for Android mobile devices. The application, which features instant virus scan, contacts backup & restoration, and phone theft and loss protection, now adds real-time monitoring and alerts, cloud scanning, and a new-look intuitive interface to its functions, all of which deliver an easy-to-use, fully protective mobile security application for Android mobile users.

With mobile devices morphing from handheld phones to handheld computers, users are constantly connected to a global and limitless information center, which includes endless applications offering user experiences from shopping and socializing to paying bills and managing bank accounts. However, with openness comes added risks, and this exposes users to a whole new realm of malicious security threats. NetQin Mobile Anti-virus for Android V.4.6 completely protects a user's mobile device, data, and lifestyle no matter the channel of communication - work or personal, email or SMS, photo sharing or social networking.

Key new features include:

• Cloud Scan: v.4.6 Beta includes "cloud + client" twin-engine scanning, which is faster and more accurate at identifying and resolving threats from viruses and malicious programs. Key benefits include fast response to the latest security threats and comprehensive protection from Trojans, malware, and virus-infected plug-ins.
• Real-time monitoring and alerts: when users install a new application, the cloud will follow its safety procedures through real-time monitoring, and immediately notify the user if prompt deletion is needed.
